You can start them whenever, but it is a possibility that your period will be delayed.
What if you start the birth control pill a week before your period starts?
You can start the pill at any time during your cycle. If you start a week before your period, use a back up method of birth control for the first seven days of the pack.

Continue taking your birth control pills as scheduled.
If a woman does not wait to start birth control on the week of her period is the birth control still effective?
If you start your birth control after your period, it is effective within days, if you start at any other time it should not be relied upon until after the next period. This is because ovulation may have already occurred (there is an egg already released waiting to be fertilized)
How long after starting a new birth control does your period start?
It really just depends on what type of birth control your taking, and when you start to take them. If you missed a week or two after getting off your period then you may spot for a few days, but you should start when your supposed to.

No. You need to start birth control BEFORE you have sex for it to be effective.
Will starting birth control pills before your period make your period come later?
Yes, if you start the birth control pill for the first time before your period, your period will come later. It usually comes during the last week of the cycle.

Is it bad to start a new cycle of birth control pills a week after your period ends?
You are supposed to start your pills the Sunday after ur period ends. But starting a week after ur period ends isn't bad either but ur period will be a little off track
Does you period still start the same day of the week after restarting the Birth Control pill?
I recently just restarted birth control after a month of being off of it and was previously on it for a year, during this time I started my period every Tuesday, since restarting birth control would my period still be on a Tuesday if I was a Sunday starter?? :)
Does starting the last week of birth control pills start your period?
To my knowledge the last week of birth control pills are placebos. That means they are simply sugar pills that help keep you in a routine. I think the lack of regular birth control pills during that last week cause you to start your period because you stop the hormones associated with those pills. Of course, I haven't taken them for over 10 years and the new types may be different.
Can you start taking birth control a week and a half before your period is set to come and if you do this will it suppress your period until you stop taking the pills?
If you want to suppress just the one period you can get specific pills from the doctor, but if you need contraception as well you can start birth control. However you will not be protected from pregnancy for about 3 weeks.
